The German Football Association (DFB) has confirmed reaching a preliminary agreement with Jurgen Klopp to serve as the new head coach of the national team, with the deal expected to be finalized in due time. Klopp has been without a coaching position since departing Liverpool in 2024 and currently holds the position of global head of football at Red Bull, though he is anticipated to sign a four-year contract with Germany. Germany's disappointing performance at the 2026 World Cup, where the team was eliminated in the Round of 32, forced previous coach Julian Nagelsmann to step down. According to a DFB statement, DFB President Bernd Neuendorf and Vice President Hans-Joachim Watzke held detailed discussions with Klopp for the first time and reached agreement on key contract provisions. Negotiations will continue next week, with both parties confident the deal will ultimately be completed, pending agreement with Red Bull regarding Klopp's current employer.
